That was a Toastmasters meeting theme for the Ottawa Coaches Corner club.
It was in line with my next speech so I signed up for the meeting a few weeks ago.
I wanted to get some ideas and inspirations.
It was also an excellent networking activity.
During one of the breakout rooms, I was grouped with two people. Each of them delivered a speech. One is themed related, the other is an Ice Breaker, both inspiring and refreshing.
For the theme-related speech, the speaker talked about the seven qualities great leaders have and she used relevant quotes for each quality.
This is the article she used as the reference for her speech:
They are: Vision, Courage, Integrity, Humility, Strategic planning, Focus, and Cooperation
I love quotes so I am quoting a few from her speech and the article above.
“Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others depend.” Winston Churchill
"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself, Aloud". Coco Chanel
“Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: it’s the starting point.” Henry Mintzberg
"True humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less". C.S. Lewis
“If your imagination leads you to understand how quickly people grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self-interest, you can have practically anything you go after.” Napoleon Hill
This meeting will definitely help me with my speech.
Thank you, Ottawa Coaches Corner club.
